Yachts and yachting : with over one hundred and ten illustrations . exists in all parts of the world a certain for the larger class of American yachts, description of Freemasonry amongst yachts- and the smaller boats can be placed on the men, and nowhere is it more apparent than deck of a steamer and sent over without in British waters. The voyage across the any very serious outlay. To all keel-built Atlantic is not a very serious undertaking boats belonging to yacht clubs, the races. GERTRUDE. BRITISH YACHTING. 159 are open, and the American owner might,if his craft prove fast enough, manage to re-turn with a whole locker full of silver cups,and hundred guinea purses.
